Refuge for the Weary Empath:
The Embodiment Experience
A Live 6-Class Course Based on the Book

Books about healing are great. But nothing beats an experience with the concepts and exercises in a book about healing for deep transformation.

Now, get both. When you join this 6-class co-created experience, you receive the ebook Refuge for the Weary Empath and the course together — a complete path to move from insight into embodiment. We’ll discuss the concepts, and then have an embodied experience, so what you understand in your mind finally lands in your body and your life.

Why Reading Alone Isn’t Enough

If you’ve ever finished a book about healing, nodded along with every page, and then gone right back to old patterns like absorbing everyone else’s emotions the next day — you’re not alone, and you’re not doing it wrong. Concepts like the four original wounds, the Meshergy, and returning absorbed energy to its source are powerful on the page, but they become truly life-changing when you feel them shift inside you, together with others who understand exactly what you’re carrying. Class by class, we co-create a container where healing happens in relationship, with the group holding you along the way.

What You’ll Experience Together

Understand why you feel so much: Learn how empaths absorb energy that isn’t even theirs — and finally make sense of overwhelm that’s felt confusing your whole life
Heal at the root, not just the symptom: Explore the four original wounds — physical abandonment, emotional rejection, spiritual disconnection, and the wound of false authenticity — that quietly drive empathic overwhelm
Return what isn’t yours: Practice embodied tools like Return to Sender and the Keyhole to release and prevent absorbed grief, fear, and anxiety that were never yours to carry
Create your inner refuge: Build a genuine sanctuary within yourself, so peace doesn’t depend on the chaos of the world calming down first
Transform triggers into teachers: Move through the Alchemy of Embracing, a four-step process for meeting emotional pain with compassion instead of resistance
Go from wounded healer to authentic guide: Discover how your own healing naturally ripples outward, impacting the people and world around you

“Dave is a master healer for empaths and sensitives. His gifts, knowledge, experience, and humor make him a real change agent and a balm for the weary soul.”

— Lee Harris, Energy intuitive, channeler, and healer

How the 6 Classes Work

Each live class is a co-created space where concept meets embodiment. We’ll explore a core teaching from the book together, then move into guided practices, somatic exercises, and group holding — so the healing goes beyond mind. It’s felt and integrated in real time, with the group as your support.

You’re welcome to participate at whatever level feels right for you each session — there’s no pressure to share more than feels comfortable, and simply witnessing others can be its own form of healing. This group is kept small enough that everyone who wants to feel seen is seen, and large enough that no one feels exposed.

“A synchronous leap and a desire to feel better lead me to a gathering I would highly recommend and return to again and again. The compassion and empathy offered and the held space... made all the difference in the world. His kindness and humor are irreverent and much appreciated in the difficult times of our lives personally and collectively. You cannot put a price on the feeling of being seen, heard and most importantly, understood.”

— Jen Lekas, Phlebotomist/Lab Assistant, Sherwood Oregon, USA
